The Last Blade (Neo Geo)

This page is rather stubbly and could use some expansion.
Are you a bad enough dude to rescue this article?

To do:
There appears to be a hidden minigame, that can be accessed via a debug menu after editing some bytes in 234-p2.p2. Document that debug menu and how to access to this minigame.

One of the many, many fighting games on the Neo Geo.

The Korean release also had several edits, which include:

  • The attract mode's opening segment, which details the storyline (entirely in Japanese, and which was left untranslated in all international releases), has been removed. The rest of the intro is intact.
  • The game has had all blood removed.
  • The characters have no spoken lines other than grunts while attacking or receiving damage.
  • Several characters had their names changed to Korean ones, as detailed below. Unlike all other regions, their names use the default font instead of a custom-drawn name.
